Dog Lover and Cat Owner

Pet care experience

I’ve always enjoyed caring for and developing a bond with animals. I completed training courses at International School for Dogs to prepare myself for my first imported German Shepherd. Experience with both leash and verbal command training styles with a variety of breeds. Friends and family have relied on me for house sitting, walking, feeding and bathing their pets. My ability to adapt to and calm both territorial and anxious pets has allowed me to connect with dogs regardless of temperament. I look forward to meeting your best friend. Whether your pups need a friendly face during the work day or require care for longer durations and trips away from home, I have the open availability necessary to give your dog the personalized time and attention they deserve. From crate training pups to sleepy senior dogs, I can adjust the care your pet receives to support the lifestyle they are accustomed to receiving from their owner. I will care for your animals as if they were my own so you can rest assured any dietary restrictions, medications, or other specified instructions will be strictly followed to ensure your dogs are safe and well cared for while in my care.

Never before could I imagine inviting a stanger into my home. I was reciently faced with every pet owners fear. I found myself booked on a last minute work trip while my spouse was away. Being new to the area I had few optios. While the neighbors could let him out, my dog would have been alone for the better part of 3 days. The Rover app led me to Eli (my dog guy) What a find! Eli was willing to meet with me and the dog ahead of time which made a huge difference to me. We talked for a while, the dog liked him, and he seemed trustworty. The kind of guy you know you could be friends with. After I was booked Eli provided overnight dog sitting at my home! WOW what service. Multiple updates and photos each day, followed all instructions and was an excelent house guest. (Seriously think place was cleaner when I got home) Eli even checked with me multiple times on my return date to insure I was not delayed by airlines. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a friendly, responsable, and dependable sitter for your pet. THANK YOU ELI! I can now travel worry free knowing Eli is on the job. Additional bookings sure to come.

Eli was an awesome dog sitter, very communicative and easy to work with. We will definitely be asking Eli to watch our pups again in the future!

Eli was fantastic with our Cockapoo, Shiloh. He was gentle, respectful of our property, followed instructions to the letter, and our dog loved him. Great sitter!

Information Eli Z. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or restrictions. If your dog has any “triggers” that cause anxiety, aggression, or other unusual behavior please let me know. I will do my best to avoid those triggers when possible and/or be prepared to handle any situations that may occur when triggers are unavoidable to ensure your dog is happy, healthy and safe in my care.

A typical day

I like to do activities with dogs based on what they prefer. Just like people dogs have personalities of their own- one dog may love to run and another prefers slow paced relaxing walks. Your pup might love to play fetch while your neighbors dog would rather nap and cuddle. Tailoring your activities to what a dog’s interests are keeps them happy and engaged during interactions, it strengthens the bond and trust they have in their caretaker.
